Abstract:

Three new bidesmosidic cholestane-type steroidal glycosides, 16-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-cholest-5-en-3β,16β-diol-22-one-3-O-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-O-[(β-d-glucopyranosyl(1→4)]-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (1), 16-O-β-d-glucopyranosylcholest-5-en-3β,16β-diol-22-one-3-O-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (2), and 16-O-β-d-glucopyranosylcholestan-3β,16β-diol-6,22-dione-3-O-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (3) were isolated from a methanolic extract of Panicum turgidum. In addition four known compounds, pennogenin 3β-O-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-O-[α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→4)-O-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→4)]-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (4), yamogenin 3β-O-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-O-[α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→4)]-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (5), yamogenin 3β-O-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-O-[α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→4)-O-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→4)]-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (6), and pennogenin 3β-O-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-O-[α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→4)]-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (7) were also isolated and characterized. Their structures were established using extensive spectroscopic methods including 1D and 2D NMR and HRESIMS. The isolated compounds were screened for cytotoxicity towards a panel of mammalian cell lines and 4-7 were found to be cytotoxic.
